Short video about our 3-Jun-2019 brief visit to Jewel (Changi Airport, Singapore).

Jewel Changi Airport (Singapore)

Jewel is a mixed-use development at Changi Airport. Comprising of dining/retail facilities and indoor gardens. The undisputed highlight of the Jewel Changi Airport is its 40m tall indoor waterfall, which is the world’s largest.

The complex opened to much fanfare on 17-April-2019. Offering a great point for both passengers (on short transit in Changi Airport) and domestic visitors for shopping/dining. Plus the chance to appreciate the newest addition to Changi Airport in the comfort of air-conditioning.

Jewel is situated in the middle of Changi Airport Terminal 1/2/3. With the driving drop-off point for Jewel located right across the Departure drop-off point for Terminal 1. The entire Jewel complex is linked to Terminal 1 internally. While there are sky-bridges (air-conditioned) that link Jewel to both Terminal 2 and 3.

The free Skytrain service between Terminal 2 and 3 passes by Jewel. In fact, the Skytrain’s track will pass right next to the waterfall, making it an incredibly great opportunity to view the waterfall from a unique perspective. There are also a number of viewing platforms around the waterfall offering good spots for taking in its beauty.

Unfortunately, during our visit, a number of the viewing platforms and the Skytrain service (between Terminal 2/3) are closed for a private function. Nevertheless, we had a great time exploring the waterfall and the various viewing platforms around it. And did we mention that it is FREE?

Note: There are a number of upcoming additions to the Jewel. Including a “Sky Net” (for both walking and bouncing) that is scheduled to open from late Jun-2019 (fees required).
